Van Halen Days
(I love you, Kev)

I woke one morning
to find you sleeping on my couch
beside the girl I was in love with
Still…the perfect southern host
I introduced myself
and fixed us all breakfast

Next thing I knew
you were at my heels
a hungry stray
your heart so full of need

You were the hottest thing in leather
during the long haired rockin’
Van Halen days
You on stage, camera in my hands
your mouth tight against the microphone
my heart so confused by it all

I didn’t so much love you
as I loved being seen with you
You didn’t so much love me
as your ego needed fed by me

yet here we are
all these years later
friends

I really don’t want to believe
that either of us has grown up
just that we’re not quick to throw away
devotion when we know it
no longer comes
at the whim of youth
the edge of beauty
denial of truth
fear of uncertainty

I love you, Kev
You love me, too

We both finally understand it.

this is a very cool poem...
the sincereness and honesty of it was its strength...
well done... a lovely tribute to a special relationship of acceptance.

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.

Devotion/love are they not the same, sometimes? Excellent!

David Lee or Sammy? David Lee, I hope. Leather, yes, but let's not forget the spandex. More to your poem than the title suggested.
